Dr. Matthew Kurlan, DO provides emergency medicine expertise in Encinitas from a practice on Encinitas Boulevard east of Interstate 5 in the New Encinitas commercial corridor. A 1990 graduate of what is now Rutgers New Jersey Medical School with residency training in emergency medicine at MWU/OPTI/Franciscan Health Olympia Fields, the practice's acute-care background complements the cardiac-emergency triage protocols at Coastal Cardiovascular Care on the Encinitas specialist-referral network. Additional licensure in California, Ohio, and Kentucky reflects a multi-state scope that supports telemedicine consultations beyond the San Diego market. The Encinitas Boulevard office focuses on urgent and emergent evaluation with same-day assessment capability, and post-stabilization cases frequently route through musculoskeletal specialists such as Catalyst Health in Cardiff-by-the-Sea for neurological and spinal recovery protocols. Procedural competencies include rapid-sequence intubation, bedside ultrasonography for FAST-exam trauma screening, and procedural sedation for closed fracture reduction and complex laceration repair.
